The only good thing about this movie is that it officially makes Harry Potter a Sweeney Todd reunion. Then again, if these movies keep getting more and more grim, in the next one Grindewald and Belatrix Lestrange might actually just grind Snape up into a meat pie and serve it to unsuspecting muggle Londoners.

It bugs me that they don't wear robes, In Goblet of Fire you have adult wizards that don't even know about trousers, and wear skirts by mistake, but all the Pure Bloods in Grindlewalds group went into their local High street and got 3 piece suits fitted?

Hollywood has still not learned from the continuous failure of unnecessary sequels/prequels! JKR should've stopped at DH. Cursed Child was a great piece of fan-fiction, but not worthy to be in the same stride as the original books. FBCOG is all hype and no material. I loved her detective novels and I really hoped that she would stop tinkering with her masterpiece and make a new modern super sleuth empire, like Holmes or Poirot! Next for Hollywood is Toy Story 4. They really want to destroy my childhood!

I loathed Depp in this... he’s supposed to be this convincing, charismatic narrator- and he was SO BORING. My fave part of the first was muggle guy and psychic witch. And this film grimmed them out and ruined them. Not interested in seeing the rest.

Glad I didn't bother to watch this one after the massive disappointment of the first one. It didn't have the magic of the Harry Potters. And I'm over JK Rowling changing characters and plot lines from the series just so that it'll fit in with these new movies and Cursed Child. You can't just go back and change lore that she set in the first place, for plot convenience. Also enough with the black Hermione thing... she needs to re-read her own books if she thinks Hermione's skin is never mentioned... in Prisoner, she wouldn't look very tanned after spending a holiday in the south, if she was black to begin with! -_- I don't even care that they choose to change the colour of her skin, what irks me is JK acting like she was intentionally leaving it vague the whole time or something when it's just flatly untrue.

OMFG "Her Dark Materials".....!!! DON'T MESS WITH MY TEENAGE GIRL HEART!! I read "The Golden Compass" when I was 10 years old!!! OMG I'M SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS BEFORE THESE TERRIBLE MOVIES! You...you saved me....

Why aren't those last months Honest Trailers put into seasons like it used to be? S12e09 is Elf from November 2018. And as I was rewatching some ode ones it strucked me how it used to have so much more views, 7 to 9 milions were normal.

The movie had a lot of problems but there are still major aspects of it that I liked (Newt, Dumbledore and Grindelwald among them). I loved the first FB movie and there's nothing to say the rest of the series is going to be the same standard as CoG. Even good writers often have one project that didn't come out their usual high standard. Perhaps part of the problem is that Jo is much more at home writing longer stories with lots of detail and complicated twists and turns. With her Cormoran Strike books and the later Potter books she has the space to do that, but in this case she tried to condense such a story into a two and a quarter hour run time, which made it feel very convoluted at times. Also, regarding the twist at the end, maybe it will make sense when we hear the explanation. The problem is that, with Rowling, we usually get the twist and then the explanation straight after. In this case the movie ended with the twist and we have to wait for the explanation, which, I can see why they might have thought it would work, but it didn't.
